Well, New York Comic-Con is history.  It was great seeing all of you who stopped by my signings, and a special treat to meet some of the international creators I’ve worked with, but never had the chance to see in person, like Stefano Caselli, Leandro Fernandez, Simon Coleby and many more.  

 

 

For anyone wondering, these books WILL ship on time.  Editor Ben Abernathy has been great about planning ahead, and there are multiple issues already in the can for each.  Plus, each issue will contain a 4-page backup story, combining to tell a 16-page story each month, mostly written by me with art by comics superstars like Pete Woods (Cybernary), Mike McKone (Marc Slayton/Backlash), Trevor Hairsine (Lynch), Brandon Badeaux (Wetworks), Phil Noto (Christie Blaze), Ivan Reis (Team Achilles), and more!  Everyone involved is working really hard to put out entertaining books on a dependable schedule, so I hope you’ll check ‘em out!

 

At Marvel, I’m writing four issues of Thunderbolts (issues #121-124) that tie in with the summer blockbuster crossover Secret Invasion!  Those dastardly alien Skrulls also turn up in Avengers: The Initiative, the book I co-write with Dan Slott...and speaking of the Initiative, it was also announced at NYCC that I’m writing an Avengers: Initiative Special, focusing on the characters Hardball and Komodo, with art by Steve Uy.  This resolves the sub-plot of Hardball’s involvement with the terrorist group Hydra, so you won’t want to miss it!

 

That’s it for now...hope to see you at San Diego Comic-Con!
